Mobility (Erasmus)

We fully recognize the internship abroad program or experience by awarding the total number of credit hours earned at the host institution. The mechanisms are based on the documents that you, as a student, will have to provide to the host institution and the home institution.

• Apprenticeship contract.

• Transcription of formation agreement files.
• Recognition is made through Credit System equivalencies. Depending on the program, you will have the opportunity to change courses or replace courses according to your interests. There will also be the option to include extra elective courses.
• The internship is validated in an internship course. This is agreed at the application stage, prior to the start of the actual internship period.

Vitae students undertake the trip with a learning or training agreement, which the International Relations Manager validates before the exchange. The agreement is typically drawn up for a semester or a year and is signed by both the host institution and the sending institution. Following the overseas experience, a transcript of records or internship report will be completed, designed to fully recognize the student’s accomplishments throughout that semester or year.

Normally, the workload, calculated on a credit system, is 50 for one year and 25 for one semester. A one-year program at Vitae is equivalent to 1,000 hours of training; a semester is equivalent to 500 hours of training. Credit points will be awarded upon successful completion of the course or internship.

Once students receive a transcript or internship report from the host institution, they can validate it at the home institution. This is done through the Credit System equivalency system or the hour equivalency system. Students will receive full recognition for completing their study program or internship abroad.

All outgoing Vitae students will receive English courses. Incoming students will have the opportunity to receive an intensive course of Catalan and Spanish during the school’s orientation weeks at the beginning of their Erasmus period.

After completing the intensive course, students will be encouraged to continue their Spanish and/or Catalan studies at their current level. Those who did not join the intensive course during the orientation week will also be able to join these classes. Classes are divided into groups by level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2). Additional support will be available for students who have language problems.

The language level test is based on the students’ own certificates or through the European Union’s Online Language Support (OLS) assessment test. This test shows the students’ level at the end of the process.
